Interesting concept.
Horrible timing.

No, it was a joke because Optics Planet never has anything in stock.So you have one on order then?
That thing has a massive amount of throw to it. Looks like its reduced that much for setting up for automation.
I am in the market for my first progressive and the 750 wont swage, the 1100, supposedly, wont handle 458 socom even at its price point. This has my attention as well.
I always thought of frankfort stuff as low end, wondering how quality it is.

But I will buy one. $700 + case feeder for a 10 stage is awesome. A Dillon 750 costs the same.
I think this is their first run at presses. Not sure how long their single stage has been around.
Definitely a slick setup though. I’m absolutely amazed at the price point, and Mike Dillon is probably rolling in his grave thinking about the child slave labor used to build these in Wuhan
LOL, "rigid steel construction" If that rigid steel is actually pot metal, then they are screwed.Yea. If its pot steel, it'll be a hard no from me.
I would definitely want to see and feel one up front. I have a feeling they will have a bunch quality problems out of the gate. They clearly are going after Dillon's market share, and with things like "limited lifetime warranty " vs Dillon's "no bs warranty " it's a big gamble for them.
I think there is a reason dillon has chosen no to stage on their 550/650/750 machines. I mean if FA has cracked the code as far as having a quality machine that can do it all, then more power to them, they should make a boat load once the word gets out. But I'm a pessimistic by nature.
Also, in the video, one guy says "available at the end of 2021" the guy next to him immediately says "you heard it, be available at the end of summer".
What kind of calendars are they using there?
Do you think they are going after the 650/750 customers or the 1100? The frankford press is more like the 1100. And the 1100 only has a 2 year warranty, then all BS after that time.They clearly are going after Dillon's market share, and with things like "limited lifetime warranty " vs Dillon's "no bs warranty " it's a big gamble for them.
LOL, they did. The Apex 10. Took the evolution, changed some AL parts to lesser expensive cast iron parts then took it to market at the same price as the Evo. (not saying the cast iron parts are lesser quality parts, just less expensive)I was hoping Lyman would release a decent quality progressive press after acquiring Mark 7.
LOL. So they didn't really bring down the price or create a 6 stage or something to compete at the Dillon 750 / LNL level.LOL, they did. The Apex 10. Took the evolution, changed some AL parts to lesser expensive cast iron parts then took it to market at the same price as the Evo. (not saying the cast iron parts are lesser quality parts, just less expensive)
I think they intend to attract more people from the smaller dillon product lines. It would be the smarter play. The 550/650 lines have to be Dillon's best selling presses vs the 1050/1100. A 1100 currently sells for 2100. FA's price point is so low, people looking at the 1100 would not even compare the FA because it would be assumed it is such a lower quality machine (based on the price only).Do you think they are going after the 650/750 customers or the 1100?
